When talking about a “safe haven” in financial jargon, the word “safe” should be used with caution. Because when investing, you can also suffer shipwreck in supposedly safe havens. In 2022, many investors who invested in bonds became painfully aware of this. The so-called bonds are compared to stocks as solid and low-volatility – just a safe haven in turbulent stock market times. Many investors therefore put bonds in their portfolios: They are supposed to be the anchor of stability when stocks are literally land under.
